I thought James Newton Howard was scoring it?

IMDB is as easily editable as Wikipedia. I guess Joe Roth wanted someone familiar and James Bobin wanted Christophe Beck, and Roth overruled him.

Nah, the prequel is the Seed of Life. It has a lot of connotations.


Then where did the paper in the book come from?

They actually bypassed The Printing Press of Life. Shame...

Frank Darabont is directing the Snow White and the Huntsman prequel, The Huntsman, which opens April 22, 2016. Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron are returning.

Don't know if Joe Roth will allow Darabont to bring in Mark Isham to score or 'force' James Newton Howard on him.

I missed the news the first time. Just do Fahrenheit 451, Frank!

Fuck no. Leave Bradbury alone.

So you'd settle for the awful adaptation from the 60s? It doesn't matter anyway, Darabont said he wouldn't do it since Bradbury is no longer alive to see it.

The Truffaut's film's flawed, but it's not awful. Plus it had Bernard Herrmann. Who would be scoring this one, Mark Fucking Mancina?

Ok, maybe.

The truth is I don't think Frank Darabont is an interesting director or cinematographer. There are dozens of filmmakers I'd love to see have a crack at FAHRENHEIT 451 or THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES, but Darabont is down on the list with Renny Harlin.

Really? Renny Harlin?

What dozens currently working would be better suited for the job?

Well, I'm not gonna give you a shopping list, but I'll just say Mark Romanek is perfect for the job.

Dozens sounds like a shopping list to me. I saw One Hour Photo 12 years ago, which was decent but forgettable. The man's done little else aside from music videos. What makes him perfect?

He has the right romantic yet modernist sensibility for the material, judging by his ground-breaking music videos (the form should not be looked down upon) and NEVER LET ME GO. Like Zack Snyder, he is a truly visual director.

David Fincher and Disney/kids movies? Well, it would be something new for him.

I have a feeling he doesn't have a 'sense of direction' these days. Don't be surprised if he ends up doing Snow White And The Huntsman 3.

Kid's movie? There's nothing inherent about it that warrants a kid's movie. We already have that with the 1954 version. Now, let's have a serious adaptation. And I will cause global terror if Trent fucking Reznor scores it.

It's going to be a Disney movie. What else could we expect?

And have Lockington for the score. He already scored two Verne movies, and soon he'll scored a third one. A fourth one can't hurt anyone.

If not, let's have Desplat. For some reason, I feel he'd be good at scoring Verne.

I'm sure it's high literature in America but here in Europe is a classic for young readers. Then there's the Disney aspect ...

High literature? I'm sure I'm not the only kid who read it when he was 6. But that doesn't make it a kids book. It's just kid-friendly in that no one dies horribly, there's no steamy sex, and no one swears. And there's certainly a depth to it that you can't appreciate as a kid.

Desplat would be my second choice after myself.
